MEETINGS

 The Association holds a minimum of two Owner’s Meetings annually. They are;

• The Annual Meeting – held in conjunction with Springfest in Ocean City (early May). This meeting is held at a local meeting site or hotel and will include budget information, Board of Directors election and an extensive Maintenance & Grounds Report.
• Owner’s Meeting & Picnic – held in conjunction with Sunfest in Ocean City (late September) -a much less formal meeting held on the parking lot followed by our annual picnic.

“UNIT ACCESS”

Unit owners are required to provide access to units for the following purposes:

1) Emergency, to include potential leaks, fire, or related hazards that impact adjoining units or the overall common property.
2) Scheduled unit inspection - this includes winter heat checks to ensure minimal threshold is met, annual fire inspections, and pest control activities.  Scheduled inspections will constitute a notification window of at least 2 weeks.

1. For individuals who are found in violation of the policy – scheduled unit inspection.

• 1st Offense – Notification by valid email or postal service
• 2nd Offense – Unit owner informed via phone call and/or letter of repeat violation with a warning about a possible fine for a 3rd consecutive offense.

HOMEOWNER’S INSURANCE

Unit owners are required to possess individual homeowner’s insurance to cover their possessions. In addition, the association recommends that each unit owner carry a $10000 “Loss Assessment” rider on this policy [Most policies come with a $1000 loss assessment included]. This will protect the owner for damages caused to other units should a mishap occur.
